Generally speaking, if the government wanted to shoot low-wattage microwaves into your house (think cell phone signals) and put a big enough means to catch those signals behind you home at specific resolution, even from far away, they could begin to identify people in the home, objects in the home, etc. It's entirely possible.

However, courts have ruled that in areas where you have a reasonable expectation of privacy, the government may not engage in evasive searches without probable cause. That probable cause is a pretty high standard... Excluding the NSA "secret courts" stuff, it generally means that they can't do it on a whim.

A dog could be considered another type of "illegal stuff" detector. Courts have ruled that the PD can't show up at your door and let the dog sniff..

Obviously, this proliferation of guns obviously poses a big threat to public safety, as evidenced by the unspeakable tragedies in Aurora, Colorado, and Newtown, Connecticut, last year, not to mention the roughly 85 gun deaths that happen each day in the U.S.

85 gun deaths a day? That's 31,025 deaths per year. What stats are they using, Mexico's?

"In a large group of people, it adds an additional layer of security," Sarabandi told me. "At a big gathering, like a stadium or shopping malls—situations where you might want to scan a large group—you could implement this technology so that rather than searching everybody, you can pick out a few people who you might want to investigate."

Why would LEO's need to investigate or search everybody? Just having a concealed gun does not mean you are breaking the law.

I doubt people will be walking around with this radar gun checking people.

Created by University of Michigan electrical engineering professor Kamal Sarabandi with funding from the Department of Defense, the technology pairs polarimetric radar with Doppler radar signal processing to identify an individual who might be carrying a weapon.
